“…135,136 Human uses of propolis are extensive and include cough syrups, lozenges, ointments, vitamins, and cosmetics, such as shampoos, conditioners, lip balms, lotions, and toothpastes. 136 Cases of ACD 137 and ACC 138,139 have been reported in association with propolis, and most cases result from use of propolis-containing products either applied topically (cosmetics) or ingested orally. 135 The main allergen found in propolis is LB-1, which consists of 2 distinct allergens: 3-methyl-2-butenyl caffeate and phenylethyl caffeate.…”

“…Propolis' sensitizing properties explain the numerous reports of allergic contact dermatitis (1,2,7,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). Propolis is known as an occupational contact allergen mainly in beekeepers, but also in musicians and manufacturers of stringed musical instruments (1,10,14,(16)(17)(18)(19).…”

Sensitization to propolis in 1255 children undergoing patch testing

et al. 2004

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

To investigate the frequency and the features of contact sensitization to propolis in children, we patch tested 1255 consecutive children suspected of allergic contact dermatitis with propolis 20% petrolatum over an 8-year period (1995-2002). Positive responses were observed in 5.9% of patch-tested subjects, with a significantly higher frequency in boys than in girls. The dermatitis was localized mainly on the face, hands and limbs. A significant linear increase in the annual frequency of propolis allergy was noted. Confirming literature data, a significant association with balsam of Peru sensitivity was present in children reacting to propolis, linked to the presence of common constituents in the 2 substances. In conclusion, based on our data, we suggest that propolis should not be used in topical products for children because of its high sensitization rate at the paediatric age.

“…In human medicine, although uncommon, honey has been implicated to occasionally produce signs of systemic intoxication due to dormant endospores of Clostridium botulinum or to contamination by herbal drugs such as grayanotoxins from Ericaceae plants (Shapiro et al, 1998). Also, allergy such as contact dermatitis or urticarial has been reported and may occur due to the presence of pollen and bee protein (Pasolini et al, 2004;Matos et al, 2015). In our study, we have not experienced any of those concerns.…”

The objective of the study was to compare Sidr honey and iodine on healing of contaminated wounds in induced diabetes in dogs. Diabetes mellitus was induced in dogs (n=4) using intravenous injection of 120 mg/kg alloxan monohydrate. Status of the diabetes was verified using oral glucose tolerance test. Four (1.5 cm x 1.5 cm) wounds were created on each of the research subject's back. Wounds were covered with 2 gm of dog feces under a bandage for 24 hours prior to starting the treatments. In each of the diabetic dogs or control dogs (n=4), 2 wounds (n=8) were treated with 1-2 ml of 10% povidine iodine and 2 wounds (n=8) were treated with 1-2ml of pure Sidr honey. Treatments started twice daily for the first week and then once daily for the rest of the study. Wounds were left to heal by second intention healing. Healthy control dogs were treated in a similar fashion. Wounds in the alloxan-induced diabetic dogs healed at a slower rate. In both groups, honey or iodine treated wounds appeared to heal at a comparable rate. Sidr honey can be considered as a safe natural remedy to manage contaminated wounds.
